Ditto. I hope Furman considers that the long time season ticket holders have been there through the ups and the many more downs. We have been loyal supporters of the program, even during the JJ years. But, if it means going to the Big Dance every year and making through a round or two, I am all in, no matter where I have to sit. This year, I will enjoy my on the floor seats like never before. Heck, it was only a couple of years ago that covid kept us from going. Put me in the rafters. I just want to see my Paladins win.
nope practice facility is not includedfurpop16 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 5:06 pmSo am I correct there *IS* a practice facility included in the $40M renovation?
I thought the renovation only included improvements to the Arena, but the electronic brochure makes reference to a "dedicated practice facility." Am I misunderstanding something?
That will be an additional $10 million+ beyond the $40 million being raised for renovation...........furpop16 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 5:06 pmSo am I correct there *IS* a practice facility included in the $40M renovation?

does that mean the bowl seating is 2750 but then premium and courtside seating is extra?FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 7:04 pm"Using the existing structure, the interior of the arena will be demolished and reimagined. The competition court will be centered in the arena, surrounded by bowl seating for up to 2,750 fans. Loge seating will be added on the concourse level to further diversify premium seating options, and the bowl will be overlooked by a premium suite level to enable Furman to drive revenue and offer the elevated entertainment opportunity our top donors and partners expect. In addition, new courtside seating and a private VIP lounge will provide an exclusive experience for our top supporters. A 360-degree concourse will feature improved concessions, a hospitality deck, and a student lounge - all with sightlines that keep fans in the game at all times."

from the pictures and design drawings looks like there will be a private lunge area with a glass viewing area to see the players as they walk from lockers to the courts. Much like you see in pro arenas. very cool. Looks like its at the far end of the courts by the locker room sideFU Hoopla wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 7:33 pmSad Din wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 7:18 pmdoes that mean the bowl seating is 2750 but then premium and courtside seating is extra?FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 7:04 pm"Using the existing structure, the interior of the arena will be demolished and reimagined.

Probably not courtside, courtside is part of the bowl, but if your asking about suites and loge seating maybe, not sure..................
Hopefully no retractable seating! That would make it like the current Timmons. Plenty of room for graduations. Why would you want to move seats back for graduation when you need seating. Please no concerts, this will be a basketball only venue.Sad Din wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 7:39 pmfrom the pictures and design drawings looks like there will be a private lunge area with a glass viewing area to see the players as they walk from lockers to the courts.

also think the right side of the court will be retractable seats for concert/graduation configuration
